[OmniOS-discuss] beadm activate error
Hello, i have a strange situation on a Dell R320 server with the omniosce 20180530 (also with the r151026). I installed omnios on a usb stick inside the server, not on the hdds. When i pkg update, the new boot environment is not activated, it starts with the original boot environment. When i try to activate the new one with beadm, there is this error: $ sudo beadm activate -v omnios-2 be_do_installboot: device c5t0d0 be_do_installboot: install failed for device c5t0d0. Command: "/usr/sbin/installboot -m -f /tmp/.be.BDaasb/boot/pmbr /tmp/.be.BDaasb/boot/gptzfsboot /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0s1" Errors: open: No such file or directory Unable to open device /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0s1 be_run_cmd: command terminated with error status: 1 Unable to activate omnios-2. Error installing boot files. Obviously, there is no device with dev/rdsk/c5* on my system. When i change the device to the correct one, beadm says there are problems with opening or reading the tmp directory. Although zpool says so: pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c5t0d0ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors I exported and re-imported the rpool, which changed the device-name from c6* to c5*. The usb was formated as fat32 with mbr, on a mac. Shpuld i use a special format for omnios/illumos?

[OmniOS-discuss] How to create an installer/ bootable recovery iso from a running system?
Question: Is it possible to create a bootable iso installer from a configured and at best online from a running system (that works then like the regular OS iso installer)? Intention is to reinstall the fully configued Oi/OmniOS from this iso for disaster recovery with the help of the regular installer process. I have done this in the past with a Linux appliance where this was part of the distribution and where you are able to create a bootable installer DVD on the fly to restore the system after a crash or to go back to a former state. Simple and genious. A bootable USB stick can be easily created from the iso with the Rufus tool.

FWIW - I ran into this problem with R151024 on an R720 also when trying to install on a USB stick - the install worked and would boot, but updating would not.
